Comments about Noro Iro:

I wanted to use these yarns for hats to sell in our gallery or to give as gifts. No way! Coarse, stiff, pulls apart with little effort, too many knots, debris, etc. Given the rave reviews, I was surprised and disappointed. There are so many other beautiful yarns with great textures and colorways. I'll spend my yarn money elsewhere.

I used this yarn in a number of colors, including some discontinued, to crochet several simple hats. Although the yarn is coarse feeling to work with, the finished fabric softened with use on the hat I made for myself, and now feels very nice to the touch. Since a single hat uses less than one skein and takes about 35 minutes using an L or M hook, I used the leftovers to make belts and headbands in Tunisian simple (I or J hook). The headband I kept for myself softened right up after I stretched it a couple of times, and now feels very nice.

The colorways work very will with my pattern, making a self-striping effect so that the hats look as if I changed colors for each row. Excellent yarn for this use.

Knotty and rough to the touch--which was very disappointing given the beautiful colors.

Comments about Noro Iro:

I bought two skeins and wasn't thrilled to find knots in both skeins. I didn't like the thick/thin aspects of the yarn, but the finished project turned out well.

I love this yarn. It is soft, easy to work with and so far not any odd knot's or joins. That's saying a lot since I am going onto my 5th skein of yarn! I am making a square 10 stitch blanket and I am loving this yarn so much I am thinking of adding two more skeins just so I can keep knitting with it!! I highly recommend this yarn, try it, you'll love it.
